Extra Large 2-Step Bird Punch

 This is another new product from the upcoming Occasions Mini.

The Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch (page 10-11) enables you to punch out

a branch, the bird and a  wing.  This format allows you to create a variety of different

combinations for your paper crafting activities.

This is one of the new style SU punches.  They lock closed

for convenient storage and have a larger platform for activation.

This format also allows for larger punches, like this bird punch.

Please be safe over the new year!

Fox & Friends Monkey

This is a second Fox and Friends (upcoming Occasions Mini) card.

Much like the previous post, it features the Tall Tales Designer

Series paper.

Both cards were very quick to make, this one with an Old Olive

card stock base.

Fox and Friends Owl

Merry day after Christmas!

This post is another set from the upcoming Occasions Mini.

Fox and Friends has a collection of little animals and coordinates

extremely well with the Tall Tales Designer Series paper (page 161).

Markers were used to color in the owl.  I omitted a sentiment so

that this card could be used for a variety of events, or the

sentiment could be added later.

MDS Calendar Christmas Page

I have mentioned MDS (My Digital Studio) as a great "gifting" product.

This post is an example.  My parents love scrapbooks or anything

containing a picture of their family.

For a Christmas gift, I made my parents an MDS calendar.  It contains pictures

of all their children and grandchildren.   Also, Mom keeps all her appointments

on 1 calendar, so I thought she'd enjoy seeing her family every time she makes an apt.

This is one of the grand kids on the December page of the calendar.

I used designer background paper and elements, stamps and punches

(to color behind the ornament).   The calendar should arrive at their

house in AZ on Wednesday and I can't wait!!

May all your presents get to their designated locations

on time!

Abundant Hope

 This is another new set, Abundant Hope,  from the upcoming Occasions Mini.

I purchased the unmounted version and love it.

The color combo is Soft Suede, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke and

Crushed Curry.  Teeny Tiny Wishes was used for the sentiment.

I hope that your Christmas preparations are going well!
